really? funny to me how when i click on your debt settlement help page that it is reccomending 2 debt settlement companies. So is this really an article about rip offs? or is this another shady way of endorsing your programs? also why would you endorse a “debt settlement” company that does not have attorneys? so the people have giant “sue me ” targets on them?

I think you missed the point. The link takes readers to independent debt coach Damon Day who can spend time assisting people to evaluate their situation first to determine if debt settlement is right for them.

What in the world does an attorney add to the debt settlement process. People can freely do it themselves or work with a coach like those at zipdebt.com, consumerrecoverynetwork.com.

Do you think that going with an attorney for debt settlement prevents people from being sued? Really?

So wait… Steve, do you mean to tell me that a letter from an attorney does not scare the creditors away?

Even if it has scary words like cease and desist, or a request for validation? Certainly words like this will cause even the most ruthless debt collectors to curl under their desk, shove a thumb in their mouth and cry for their mommies.

with Credit Solutions of America not being on this list, I can only assume that this list is derived from a biased decision making matrix… so I write this off as an attempted money making scheme, as opposed to attempt of any sort to improve the country, the consumer experience, or the system

I’m a big fan of going after the companies that charged upfront fees that were harmful to consumers but when you start naming companies like Global, Noteworld, Rocky Mountain Bank and LowerMyBills, you then put yourself in the category of the “et al” bottom feeder who will drag everyone and their mother into a lawsuit just to get a huge settlement that your law firm will keep.

If you are truly acting in the best interest of the consumer (your clients) then go after just the companies who intentionally harmed consumers and maybe give the consumer the majority of the money you are awarded.
